Choosing a career is a big decision! With so many choices and so much to consider, finding the right career path is a big challenge in today’s economic climate. With so much changing with technology, jobs are ever changing. The information on this page will give you some useful tools and some valuable information to help you choose the career that’s best for you.

What Career Is Best For You?

The first thing to consider when choosing your career path is your interest. They say that if you love your job, you will never work a day in your life. If you love your job and find it interesting, you will live a much happier life.

Your interests, strengths, and personality will play a big part in determining which careers will provide you with the most personal satisfaction. There are many online resources available to help high school students choose which careers they’re best suited.

Online career assessments give you the input to answer some questions about yourself and your interests, and then give immediate feedback about the careers that best fit your personality. Career counseling is also a useful tool in choosing a new career. We use Myplan to help students to review career options and take personality tests to determine what is best for them. All students have full access to Myplan. A post-secondary education is expensive and you will want to be sure that your investment pays off.
